Wing loading has an effect on an aircraft's climb rate.
Landing is also a problem for large birds with high wing loadings.
They were also concerned about the high wing loading.
The wing loading must be very low in order to allow the pilot to run fast enough to get above stall speed.
All the early aircraft had very low wing loadings for sufficient reasons.
Their small wings give them a high wing loading.
It has a low wing-aspect ratio and high wing loading.
For these the wing loading does not exceed 18 kg/m.
They are heavy for their size with a high wing loading, so they need to fly fast.
The smaller the wing loading, the tighter the turn.
Speeds were higher the wing loading more approximated combat aircraft with the flight characteristics demanding more precision and care.
Its capabilities were significantly greater than its predecessor, the SM.79, with over 1,850 kW (2,800 hp) available and a high wing loading that gave it characteristics not dissimilar to a large fighter.
By increasing the wing loading the average speed achieved across country can be increased to take advantage of strong thermals.
It consisted of a delta-wing platform with a low wing loading to provide considerable surface area to dump the heat of re-entry.
The large surface area of 425 ft2 (39 m2), and the low wing loading it had as a result, led to excellent low-speed performance as well.
As noted below, the maximum L/D is not dependent on weight or wing loading, but with higher wing loading the maximum L/D occurs at a faster airspeed.
They can be constructed from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, polymer foams, and composites, and can vary in wing loading from very light to relatively heavy, depending on their intended use.
The wing is fitted with large trailing-edge slotted flaps, but had no other high-lift devices, relying on the aircraft's low wing loading to give the required short-field take-off and landing performance.
This last application is noteworthy, since these were twin-engine aircraft of size, passenger capacity, and high wing loading comparable with the DC-4 and the first Constellations.
The empty weight of the version VI was increased by only 7 kg (15.4 b) but by flying with a higher wing loading this model could provide a 25 kg (55 lb) increase in useful load.
